"I Beitkuownthat W I M momma, a citizen 'of-"thefU nited'States,j; residing at New York, in the countyj'of New 'York and State of New York',have invented certain new and usefulImprovenients'in'Clamps for Marble Wash Bowls or Basin's,of which the fOlIO W-V ing'is a full and complete specification; suh: as will enable those s'killed'in the art towhich it appertains to make janduse the same. I a The object of this'invention is to provide improved means .for securing, wash bowls or. basins to a marble slab,"whereby"thebowl or basin maybe more easily-andconveniently and safelyseoured to the slab than is .p'ossilif ble with devices now'employedflfor said purpose, a further object being to provide-1m proved"means-forsecuring a wash bowl or basin'to a marble slab-without-the risk of breaking the basin or the slab; andiwith these i y b and other objects inzview the invention con i vsistsin the construction,-combinatiom-and arrangement of Iandclaimed.
